    think i want one of those electric chairs but then again id end up way to lazy !!!
  11. woudnt of thought theyd be the prop as they cant make the revs un predictable,pluggs if they mess up it be missing or non start sumin like that.move on to the throttle body.temp sensor cud av made it think its cold but that aint it.make sure theres goood clean connections on throttle position sensor,crank sensor/speed sensor airflow etc
  12. check the throttle body for being dirty.idle control valve cud be sticking.if it still does it after cleaning,get it plugged in and see if ne codes are in it.the control valve gets its info/data from a number of sensors.it shud av brought up a code really.
  13. im goin to be doin this shortly with abit of luck and funds.did you get ne info on the driveshafts and hubs? wud the gti box fit on the 1.8 engine? ne info is good cheers buddy.

    so the thundercats man!!!
  17. passenger side went up the shixxer the other day on mine with the clicking too.check for bad earths first,motor may not be able to drawn good voltage, mine ended up being the motor tho.if the window is stuck in the up position the little 10mm nuts clamping the window are alittle awkward to get to.
  18. true, but most manafacters we use give up2 12mths warrenty.and to send of the motor to be reconed is anythink up to 60 bucks.depending on size and the components they need to replace.paturn motor these days are 80ish.maindealers mind aint there well over a 100 in that case recon mite be the way to go.
  19. they have the best job i think! so unfair.
  20. good show again tonight,clarksons american car was the best i think.
  21. for the price of getting that reconed might aswell get a new one then you get warrenty.try hitting the motor part (not the solanoid) with a bar/or sumin to get the motor spinning.wont fix it but can get u out of a jam if yur stuck sum where. check the feed at the exciter wire goin in to the starter for 12v so you no its powered up(smaller one comes from the ignition) when you crank it.if its clicking it does tend to meen its working but you never no,mite not be drawing enough voltage.
  22. trained as a vehicle technician/mechanic. currently work in a vauxhall main dealership.
  23. follow the top hose from the radiater they tend to be at the top.if not follow the bottom hose.i havnt really looked at my gti.should really
